It was the second offer for Drayton who has already been offered by Kentucky. Drayton said Louisville's offer had a surprise in it.

"The assistant coach asked me what position I wanted to play and I said 'wherever you need me,'" Drayton said.

"Well, the coach said he kind of liked me at running back. He asked me if I would like to play running back for them. I told him I would play anywhere to help the team win, but I would prefer safety if I had a choice. He said that was fine and that Louisville would love me at safety."

Drayton said he was caught off guard by the Louisville evaluation, but that he took it as a compliment: "I like the fact that colleges see me as being versatile and being able to play a lot of positions."

"I've heard that I am being looked at as a safety, defensive back, linebacker and now tailback. Again, I will play anywhere a team needs me, but given a preference I want to be on defense, specifically safety."
